An Introduction to CINI UK
The Child In Need Institute (CINI) works to break down the cycle of poverty, malnutrition and ill health and to provide basic educational services to some of India’s poorest communities.
Wherever possible the charity uses local staff drawn from the urban slums and poor village communities in which it works, as this means that CINI staff are always nearby when people in our project areas need help. This policy also enables CINI to keep running costs lower than charities dependent on foreign aid workers.
CINI takes pride in the way it coordinates its work with government initiatives and other charities. We also endeavour to share successful approaches with other organisations working related fields. CINI is widely recognised as a leading authority on mother and child nutrition and healthcare in India and has provided training on related issues to major charities such as UNICEF, CARE and CRY as well as many smaller local NGOs.
CINI UK raises awareness and funds in the UK for this vital work. It was registered with the Charity Commission in 2002. The charity provides its supporters with full progress reports on the projects they fund and actively encourages its supporters to visit projects on the ground.
